Being the overly critical jackass that I am I was really surprised that I enjoyed the video game version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.  Was it a perfect game? No, but it was a simple game that did a reasonable job at immersing the player in a world of wizardry and magic.  Now EA has announced their plans on the final chapter of Harry Potter’s adventures, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

When you combine the popular Harry Potter series, which is still going strong despite being somewhat over, and the Lego video game franchise you get Lego Harry Potter.  Yup, after tackling Star Wars and Indiana Jones we’re now going to see the world of wizardry come to life in hilarious Lego form.

Overall Feeling: 
Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince is a terrific game that truly captures the essence of the book/film. This isn't merely another cut and paste movie game as there are several segments where the game truly shines due to the originality of developer EA Bright Light. If you're a Harry Potter fan then the game is a must play as it is the quuintessential Harry Potter experience.
The Pros: 
The visuals really capture the feel of the movie not only due to the character models but the design of Hogwarts itself. Participating in wizard duels is fun and it captures that intense feel from the movie. Potion making is fun and provides a nice challenge. The game has several unique sections and level scenarios that really help it shine from other movie games.
The Cons: 
There could've been a bit more content to the game as it's a bit short. A few sections can be a bit buggy or unpolished as one scene had a mouth of a character not move despite speaking.

Movie games are probably the most schizophrenic genre in the game industry.
